When NBA Live 14 was released last November, the reviews, as stated before, weren’t flattering. Many fours and fives were given out to the franchise’s first title in four years, which didn’t sit well with the development team at EA Sports.
These low scores lead the team to realize that they couldn’t just wait until NBA Live 15 was released to address a lot of the issues. Instead, they worked countless hours to prepare gameplay and visual updates to NBA Live 14 to prove to their audience that they weren’t just in it for the money.
“We got hammered, and we didn’t like seeing the scores that were coming in,” executive producer Sean O’Brien said.

PSBlog EU: "100s of deals to choose from in our May Madness promotion "
Yeah they need to put "eu" or "na" in the title... eu didn't get those 0.99 flash sales awhile back :(
@tiqila
They had some nice deals two weeks ago for Vita during their Golden Week sale. I picked up several games Y's, Persona, Muramasa and Chrono cross.
Was thinking about picking up SoulCalibur 5, but it's not the complete version (including DLC), so I won't bother.
Other than that, I seem to have most of the stuff I would want.
Think they announced it yesterday. Xblg members will now have discounts like PS+ along with the subscription model. So they don't keep their games when their gold runs out.
I'm a happy PS4 owner now but one thing I experienced MS did better when I gamed on the 360 was their deals.
The deals for the PS4 have been meager so far, to put it nicely.
@InMyOpinion
I've gotten Resogun, Contrast, Don't Starve, Stick it to the Man, some other crappy game, and Outlast all free on PS4.. Don't think Xbox One owners have anything like that.
@jacksons
Yeah resogun was surprisingly great and addictive. What was free on xone?
Two sports titles with a minimal following outside of the US dropped to a still unreasonable 45 quid... At 20 I may have been tempted just to play a bit of 2 player here and there... no chance at that cost.
Wow the list of deals blows compared to what we've seen with us flash and spring sales lately .
Especially when i remember the Atlus sales in US .
And on PS4 really ? you can't afford even a meager 10 off on decent retail games ? Nba live wich no one wants and Madden with the new one looming over ?
Why is Europe always getting these sick deals? What about the folks in the States?

killzone:sf is also $84 on the psn store in europe... na always has better sales and cheaper prices overall
;)
We have our share of bad sales too and no we don't have cheaper prices overall. Not for people living here.
To you, it seems like that, because your money is worth more than ours. Everything is cheaper in your eyes.
Still it's not about just "importing" digital cheaper thanks to rate exchange .
There are deal more often , especially from publishers that dont even have an european office .
Today's list is still quite a few stuff that was already free in the instant collection , very old , or not really that cheaper with sequels incoming . BAre a few exceptions of course .
Instant collection stuff is usually better in EU , but the sales ? Nah
GoodGameBro writes, "“Ice” is as integral to NBA defense in 2014 as the zone blitz is to football. How, then, is it implemented in both NBA Live 14 and NBA 2K14?
In NBA Live 14, players defend the pick and roll in ways that closely resemble real life. The fit of the “ice” coverage is a little more precise than real life and clearly signposted for users, but the general principle is correct."
Late but correct.
Live looks weird, but plays a better game of basketball than (the amazing looking) 2K14.
And just shows that 99% of gaming sites who reviewed it, just quickly judged a book by its cover.
This is not a case of everyone rushing to critise Live unfairly. When the developers apologize for the quality of the game, it's time for fans to accept the possibility that the game sucks.
Live 14 is one of the worst games ever released by a major developer imo.
Both games have a lot of work to do. However, I think 2K14 was a better overall experience. I think if they would've taken more time with the next-gen version it could've been a lot better.
Well that cover was sure ugly as hell. I was so jacked that live was coming back and I told myself I'm not gonna worry about graphics just gameplay but after playing next gen 2k14 and then trying the live demo, I just couldn't get past the graphics! Lol!
One thing that Live does better than 2k? Collect dust at GameStop on the shelf. Big lots won't make anything on it either. Just put Live in the hole they left when they dug up those E.T. games.
No, this game sucks ass.The defense sucks, the dunks/layups are a sure shot no matter how much the defense try to bat you down.
